i finally got new carpet put in my house, which meant that i could finally set up my new 75 gal tank. my wife was reluctant to let me get a tank that big but i finally got the ok. yesterday i set up the tank, with sand and decorations and then hooked up my canister filter w/ a inline hydor heater which is really nice. once i got the filter set up and running i was through. there were no water leaks on any of the tubing or the filter. when i woke up the next morning i walked into the living room to marvel at my new set up and noticed that my tanks water level was an inch lower. then my sock started to get wet. i opened the door to where my filter is located and to my disbelief there was water trickling from the quick disconnect on my pump. i killed the power to my tank and got my python and started draining my tank. i had to remove all the water so i could move the tank and stand. then i started towel drying my brand new carpet. my tank is still in the middle of the living room and fans and my wifes hair dryer going on low. i thought she was going to kill me.
has anybody had this same pump do this or did i just not have a good seal on the quick disconnect. i am wondering if i should have just went with two emperor 400 so i can sleep at night.
